The Old Knight of a Frontier District

4.

Then the knights of the Knights of the Neighbourhood came and exchanged greetings.

We ended up moving into a big room and drinking and talking to each other all night.

When he found out that Bardo and Cars had gone to see the Queen of Manuno, he was all for it.

"Oh, you're home safe, does that mean there's only two of you, defeated the Queen of Manuno!

Someone asked.

Having heard that, Bardo learned of the difference in perception with the Knights of the Border Knights.

From the beginning, a knight is a man who intercedes with battle.

In battle, enemies and allies are replaced in some cases.

Sometimes today I fight alongside my shoulders with knights who fought as enemies yesterday.

Sometimes we kill each other tomorrow with the knights we helped each other today.

So even the opponents who have killed their allies must abandon their hatred once that battle is over.

Chivalry asks for at least such an attitude.

After the war is over, we will not seek out and kill the enemies who killed our allies.

There is no honor in such a battle.

Except when there was a cowardice or unnecessary cruelty to the opponent's battle.

The person who behaved like that deserves to be publicly declared an "enemy".

It is possible to apply for an honorable duel if you have the opportunity to publicly declare that you are an "enemy".

In this regard, Bardo thought the knights of the Knights of the Borders would be the same.

But rather, Bardo's thinking is unusual in this case.

In other words, there is an anomaly in Baldo, where knights look at knights against the anomalous existence of a manuno.

Bardo realized that too, so he explained, "No, I didn't go for revenge, I went to make sure that Manuno did that kind of raid."

And communicated the significance of the meeting with the Queen.

That that great invasion of the Warcraft did take place under the command of the Queen of Manuno, but that it was not the will of the Queen, but because it was imposed on another.

That Manuno will never lead a warcraft to attack a person again in the future.

It seems to take a long time to prepare the Warcraft in the first place, etc.

I did not say that I had freed the Queen of Manuno from the immediacy of my heart.

For the truth of the ancient demon sword taught by the predecessors Zendatta should not be spoken at all.

Nor did he speak of those who had imposed the Queen, nor of those who were using strange powers to manipulate humans and help Sinkai invade.

Because it is too uncertain information.

But to the knights of the Knights of the Borders, that was a lot.

That's all that Bardo has made me promise to go to the Great Tree Sea with his life at stake and meet the Queen of Manuno, and that Manuno will no longer use the Warcraft to attack humans.

The sacrifice was not in vain.

That tragic defensive battle was not in vain.

Yes, because they could have known.

Jurchaga also talked about Sinkai's invasion.

He seemed to keep his mouth shut about where and what he was doing until he reported to Bardo.

They attracted a lot of interest.

I ended up sleeping at dawn and was supposed to leave before noon.

A recall letter arrived shortly before that departure.

One official and two knights brought it on purpose.

Because I want to ask you something, it says that former General Bardo Lowen would like to return immediately to the King's capital and serve in the Royal Palace.

That's fine, but oddly enough, it doesn't say who's recalling it, even though it has the author's name.

I showed it to College Dolby, acting head of the Knights of the Borders, and this document creator is the secretary of the Council of Ministers, but the document is like a call letter to the Inquisition, he said with a twinkle of an eyebrow.

Either way, I was going to report back to the King's Landing.

Bardo took Cars and Jurchaga, along with two officials and knights, to the king's capital.

Both officials and knights obviously avoided talking to Bardo.

All you have to do is talk to him and give him a minimum response.

I don't get any answers at all, especially on the topic of war situations.

I hurried my journey in suspicion.

It was the night of May 30th that we arrived in the Wang capital, and one of the knights contacted us ahead of time to arrive.

The official urged him to go directly to the royal palace, but he did so because Jurchaga has been earringing to stay at the Toad family tonight.

When I got to the Toad family, there was no Bari Toad.

He said he took the call and served in the royal palace.

For the first time in a long time, Bardo struck a tongue drum on Camlar's cooking.

The servants rejoiced and looked after Baldo as if the temple had returned.

Jurchaga disappeared after dinner.

It's dawn when I'm back, and it's rare to be a little excited.

Bardo was woken up asleep, but wondered if that was all that mattered.

You were right.

Jurchaga has been running around the city at night gathering extremely critical information.

"The King's army has lost a great deal to the Sinkai army.

April 13, in the Great Plains of the North of Casse.

Damaged by more than 40% wear and tear, Count Zyfeld Bowen, the Chinese army general, died in battle under the cover of His Majesty the King.

The defeat is hidden from the people of the king's capital. "

It's a suspicious ear.

Jurchaga started explaining, saying no, although there was a lot of uncertainty.

Obas fell at the beginning of March.

The neighboring lords sent out the Knights to shoot the Sinkai army here.

Thought I'd stand up because it's a robust castle, and rapidly strike out and ravage each Knights at a stifling speed.

A number of leading knights have been taken over.

Begging the crowd, the king sent out a direct command army.

The Commander-in-Chief is Sir Zyfeld Bowen.

He was originally a warring warlord who greatly raised a medal under his predecessor as a lieutenant general of the upper army.

He was secretly ordered to reform the consciousness of the Knights of the Borders to become the Commander of the Knights of the Borders, but after Bardo, he was entrusted to the Central Army General.

Zyfeld headed the Chinese army's main and secondary armies for the crusade.

The Royal Direct Command Army is the three armies up and down, each divided into a regular army and a deputy army.

A total of six armies.

Each of them consists of one hundred horsemen, one hundred archers, one hundred spears, and one hundred infantry.

In other words, combining the Chinese army's front and back armies would only be two hundred horsemen in the traditional way of counting.

Horseback riding alone doesn't seem to be enough power to crusade the Sinkai army of the Four Hundred Castle of Obas.

But the king's army in Parzam is different from the traditional Knights.

Generally, the minimum unit of composition of an army is a knight.

The knight is needless to say horseback riding power.

The knights will bring their squire into the infantry.

The reality of infantry is that it is often not highly skilled because it is a boy in training or a civilian who is usually unarmed.

Some knights take only luggage carriers into battle for economic reasons, etc.

Spears are infantry weapons, except for Spear Cavalry, which storms at the start of the war.

People in the ranks tend to be reluctant to use spears, so if you see a spear soldier, you'll think he's a civilian.

Sometimes the most war-accustomed, inflexible peasant spear soldiers bring tremendous loot to their masters.

It will be up to the leading knights how many knights will gather to start the war.

I don't know how many infantry knights the leading knight will bring when he speaks up.

Not to mention how many spear soldiers and archers will eventually be.

Kings and nobles who are the masters of the army can place orders such as asking them to bring more spears or to have arrows ready all the time, but what actually happens is three inches on the chest of a leading knight or each knight and it depends on how they feel.

The past few generations of King Parzam have tried to change these situations.

No, I changed it.

He gave the infantry an iron shield, an iron breastplate, an iron helmet and a steel sword, and fed him strength to run around the battlefield.

He built long, sturdy, standardized, unified spears and trained them in mass combat.

Archers were taught how to shoot with surface control, so that they could travel with horses if necessary.

One thing that has made this possible is economic growth and population growth.

And it is also that the countries and cities were conquered or extinguished as a result of the ensuing wars, creating massive flows of knights.

King Parzam positively welcomed the knights and their children who had flown from other countries.

However, the first person to be assigned to join the army is either the Archer or Spear or Infantry unless you have a similar military history.

The streaming knights were outraged.

But I can't change my belly on my back.

You could move to a horseback squad if you put your hand on it, and most importantly, the condition that salaries were paid properly on a regular basis, even during normal times, was too attractive.

They are completely non-producers, who do not engage in anything other than military, even in normal times.

It is a tremendous burden to feed and shelter so many people and check out their gear.

But the kings of history went on to vigorously reform the military, and the number of horseback riders rather compressed, while gradually increasing the number of infantry soldiers.

And when the military examined it, it was clear that the maintenance costs were much lower than the formation of the knightly bias.

Infantry shields prevent enemy bows, and archers drain cavalry advancing and shield infantry and spear infantry stop.

This cavalry ravages enemies who have lost their mobility.

The operation, which combined the strengths of the Four Soldiers, was very effective.

With the military reform, King Parzam's direct army in recent years can be described as unbeaten.

And its formation and combat methods should go well with the Sinkai Army's specialty of high-speed manoeuvres and long-lasting weapons as the main axes of warfare.

In fact, in the battle of the plains near Castle Obas, the King's army overwhelmed the Sinkai army.

Pick up the general of the enemy's rank of deputy general and capture General Buntai.

The devastated enemy abandoned the city and said it had stood in the castle.

6.

Here, however, both Fargo and Ejite cities rose again.

These two leading cities revolted last year and hurt the King's army led by Jules Rant by cowardly means.

Jules Rant nearly lost her own life, and instead the two generals were to lose their lives.

After the revolt crackdown, the two cities begged for forgiveness, so to speak.

And those two cities were fanned again.

And with the Sinkai army.

Total troop strength is unclear.

The two cities of Fargo and Ejite alone are said to have a combined strength of four hundred horsemen.

Together, the infantry is a force that reaches from one thousand two hundred to two thousand.

I don't know the strength of the Sinkai army, but they said there were hundreds of horseback riding squads.

This great force struck the city of Casse like a tsunami.

With excellent defense and plenty of supplies, Casse, said to be a city in distress, fell in half a day.

The knight, who was guarding Castle Grismo, heard the news of the fall of Casse and deserted the castle without a single battle.

Upon hearing this news, the royal palace became temporarily panicked.

The battle on the Orbus, although leaning in favor of the Parzam side, enables the enemy to replenish troops and supplies via Teula and Saion.

And Fargo, Ejite, Grizmo and Kasse will have been absorbed by the side of Sinkai.

It is also a group of surrounding small cities.

From north to west of the vast prints are shredded, and the city of Ride is isolated in enemy range.

If the city of Ride also falls, the green flame stone will not come in a single piece.

King Juleland immediately turned all of the king's army to Casse.

The king himself turned to Kasse as an upper general.

Chantillion, the Lower General, is with him.

And he also ordered the northern and western lords of the kingdom to join him in an urgent battle.

Except for the city of Ride.

I must ask Count Ryde to defend the city of Ryde, no matter what.

Zaifert also unraveled the orbus enclosure and joined.

In the Great Plains east of Casse, the two armies clashed.

The strength of the Sinkai army was about two hundred horsemen combined with Fargo and Ejite, and about four hundred horsemen of the Sinkai army.

Considerable reserve power is left in the city of Casse.

The strength of Parzam's side was about six hundred horsemen for the king's direct command and two hundred horsemen for the soldiers of the Hordes.

The battle of the kings of Parzam hurt the Sinkai armies in a tough battle, and the mood of the lords was greatly increased.

But the truth is, the Chinese army and Zaifert were still wearing out.

After all, he is commanded by the king's capital to break the enemy army to Obas, and to travel long distances to Kasse in the midst of the siege, and to fight shortly after rest.

I could have said I was exhausted.

There came the General of Appetite.

It is the direct two hundred horsemen who lead it, but anyway, the very figure of General Appetite drained General Parzam's temperament.

Its height is about twice that of a normal human being.

What I'm riding is a giant beast with a strange appearance all over my body covering my armor, with horns (one) popping out of my nose.

As the tiger kicked the sheep, General Appetite crushed King Parzam's army.

No formation, no tactics, no use.

If the General of Appetite wielded a great sword, the knight would be flown from horse to horse, and the infantry would be turned into meat chunks by putting together a few shields and armor.

The armies of the king Parzam were in total collapse, and the armies of the hosts came to panic and fled the battlefield.

The General of Appetite went straight for King Juleland, the General.

This was prevented by Zaifert and Chantillion leading the elite few, and although the king was able to escape safely, Zaifert died.

Zaifert's dead.

That man.

Bardo was struck hard.

I know that people die on the battlefield by staining their bones.

But still, that was a man who should not have died yet, and that was not the man who would have died.

Bardo thought how harsh this painful hand was for this country, for King Juleland.

And he also learned to be wary of the current state of the Parzam army.

Then isn't it a situation where we don't even know when the King's capital will be attacked by the Sinkai army?

It may be referred to precisely as a crisis of national survival.

What the hell am I supposed to do by calling myself in at this time?
